Maraval Sweet Chestnut Tree

Selection:

Despite their delicious eating properties famed for centuries through popular song and folklore, Sweet Chestnuts have remained a Tree grown by few. This is probably because they traditionally take several years to mature to fruiting age. This unique new french variety is the answer, for it has cropped on only 2 year old container grown trees in the Nursery! A tempting proposition for all, these are handsome trees with glossy deeply serrated foliage, bristly fruiting clusters, golden amber Autumn colour - and bags of character! Now you can have your own delicious crop too! There is no reason why they should not be container grown in, say a nice 18” pot or larger. Stock genuinely limited.

UK mainland delivery is charged at £8.95. Sending a tree through the post isn't easy, so our parcels are expertly packed to keep your goods in the best condition. There is no surcharge on the delivery of larger parcels/orders.

Tree size as supplied varies but is usually between 3.5' - 4.5' on despatch. A few varieties might be slightly smaller, some a little bigger, of course it does vary but this is a good average. WE SUPPLY YOUNG TREES - and are proud to do so. Although we are sometimes requested to supply older/bigger trees, the percieved advantages are outwighed by disadvantages! Older trees take longer to establish and will fruit no more quickly. The young trees we send out grow away and establish so quickly and healthily & often yield within 1 season of planting. Our customers even report fruits the first year of planting! All professional fruit growers prefer to plant young trees rather than older.

Our soft fruit bushes are usually 2 years old.Everything is stringently graded, grown on the nursery and well packed!

No need to be in - You can request your parcel to be left in a safe place, or stipulate an alternative delivery address, at the checkout.

Gold Standard Health & Quality

We have in place very rigorous standards for the health,
providence and uniformity of all our fruiting plants & trees. Our Nursery and the stock we grow is
inspected and passported for health regularly by DEFRA experts [formerly the Ministry of Agriculture]
and we have in place our own stringent controls and inspection programmes to ensure our fruiting
bushes and trees are the best, most disease free stocks available and truly beyond compare.

We always propagate from certified stock where this exists and have the highest standards regarding providence
and grading. If only the very best will do - as it should - then you can rely on a Chris Bowers fruiting
plant to give the most exemplary results available. We firmly believe that only the very healthiest
stock can and does produce vastly superior results - and it shows.

Our Guarantee

We are proud of each & every plant & tree we despatch from our Nursery. If it fails to thrive
or live up to your expectations we will replace or refund it. This is in addition to your statutory
rights. We may rarely ask for details of care and cultivation given to it, or arrange for a return
of the item for inspection, to assist in our own programme of improvement.
